Discreet Bug Sweep & GPS Tracker Detection for Your Vehicle

Worried someone may have placed a hidden tracker or listening device on your car? We help quietly — a licensed automotive locksmith with the right tools and the right hands. Your information stays with us.

$99 deposit holds your slot · fully credited toward your sweep · refunded if we can’t fit you in 24 hours

Quiet, professional, and on your terms. Mobile to your home, workplace, or a neutral meeting spot — whichever feels easiest. Unmarked vehicle. No callbacks except to the number you give us. Cash, e-transfer, or card.

Why people in Thursday’s situation choose us

We’re not an office-security firm doing vehicles on the side. Our lead technician is a licensed Ontario locksmith with over a decade in automotive electronics, key & fob programming, and module diagnostics. We know where devices hide on a modern vehicle — and we can lift dash panels, headliners, and door cards without damaging your car.

What we look for

A complete sweep covers four categories of device. The right tier for you depends on what you suspect and how thorough you need the documentation to be.

📡

Hidden GPS Trackers

Magnetic and hardwired GPS units — under wheel wells, inside bumpers, behind dashboards, wired into the OBD-II port, or spliced into the fuse box. Both passive (offline loggers) and active (cellular) units.

🎙

Audio Bugs & Recorders

Active RF transmitters, GSM/SIM-card bugs, and voice-activated recorders hidden in headliners, seat bases, glove boxes, and aftermarket accessories.

📷

Hidden Cameras

Pinhole cameras, wireless mini-cams, and dashcams with covert recording — concealed in mirrors, vents, sun-visors, and replacement interior pieces.

🔌

OBD-II Port Devices

Plug-in trackers and data-loggers attached to your diagnostic port — often invisible unless you lift the dash trim. We know exactly where to look.

Passive vs. active trackers

This distinction matters because passive trackers transmit nothing — a simple RF sweep won’t find them. We always run both an RF scan AND a physical magnetometer pass.

TypeHow it worksHow we find it
Active GPS (cellular)Reports location in real time over LTE/4G. Has an RF signature.Broadband RF spectrum sweep (10 kHz – 6 GHz)
Passive GPS (logger)Records location to memory. No RF emission. Retrieved physically.Magnetometer pass + physical inspection of wheel wells, bumpers, undercarriage
Hardwired trackerSpliced into vehicle wiring — no battery to die.Dash + door trim removal + wiring harness inspection

Our 7-step process

  • Intake & consent. One short form to confirm you own or lease the vehicle — protects you legally and means our findings can be used in court if needed.
  • Broadband RF spectrum scan covering 10 kHz – 6 GHz. Catches active transmitters, GSM bugs, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth cameras, and cellular GPS units.
  • Magnetometer + undercarriage inspection. Magnetic-mount tracker detection. Passive GPS loggers can ONLY be found this way.
  • OBD-II & wiring harness check. Diagnostic port inspection plus harness scan for piggyback devices and unauthorized splice-ins.
  • Optical camera lens detection for pinhole cameras that emit no RF.
  • Damage-free cabin teardown when needed. We lift dash panels, headliners, door cards, seat bases without breakage — locksmith’s hands.
  • Written report with photos, location diagrams, and serial numbers of anything found. Admissible in family-court or criminal proceedings.

Discreet by default

  • Mobile to you. Home, workplace, garage — anywhere across the GTA.
  • Neutral meet-ups. If being seen with a service vehicle is risky, we’ll meet you at a discreet lot (mall parking, transit station, hotel). We’ll suggest options when you call.
  • Encrypted intake. WhatsApp, Signal, or Telegram available. Nothing in email or SMS unless you ask.
  • Your file stays internal. We don’t subcontract, refer to PIs, or maintain customer databases beyond invoicing.
  • Unmarked service vehicle at the meet location.

Common questions

Will whoever is tracking me find out I had a sweep?

No. Our RF and magnetometer scan is passive — we don’t transmit. If we find a device, we’ll discuss your options with you before touching it. We can document and leave it in place (best for court evidence), remove it discreetly, or swap it for a dummy so the tracker keeps reporting to nothing useful.

How does the $99 deposit work?

The deposit reserves your slot and comes off your final bill. You only pay the balance after the sweep is complete. If we can’t fit you in within 24 hours of booking, the deposit is fully refunded. No subscriptions, no hidden charges.

Do I have to come to your shop?

No. Mobile service is the default. We come to your home, workplace, or a discreet meet-up location anywhere in the GTA.

What if you find a device?

You decide what happens next. Options: leave it in place and we document it (useful for police or court), remove it, or replace with a dummy. We never touch anything without your written go-ahead.

Can I use your report in court or for a restraining order?

Yes — the Forensic Sweep includes court-ready documentation with photos, timestamps, chain-of-custody, and our technician’s signed declaration. Your lawyer or the police can request our records or testimony.

What is the Find-It Guarantee?

If we don’t find a device during a Full Sweep or Forensic Sweep, we refund $100 of the service fee, or apply it as credit to a re-sweep within 30 days. (Quick Scans aren’t covered because a clean RF scan doesn’t rule out a passive tracker.)

How long does each tier take?

Quick Scan: 30–45 min. Full Sweep: 60–90 min. Forensic Sweep: 2–4 hours depending on vehicle complexity.

Service area?

Toronto, Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, Scarborough, Markham, Vaughan, North York, Mississauga, Etobicoke, Richmond Hill — all of GTA. Outside GTA available on request with travel surcharge.

How do I pay?

$99 deposit via secure Helcim payment link. Balance: cash, e-transfer, debit, or credit card — whichever leaves the trail you prefer.

Ready when you are.

Reserve your slot in under 60 seconds. $99 deposit holds it. Or just call — we’ll talk it through.
